Directions

Share

I was gifted some farm fresh tomatoes from a friend and made this slightly spicy, delicious dinner last night, and had it again for lunch today, so full of flavor, you really need to try it! I served with steamed white rice and some crusty bread.

Ingredients:

12 medium fresh tomatoes OR

1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes, I prefer a brand that has San Marzano

1 14 oz can crushed tomatoes

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves of garlic, minced

1 medium white onion, chopped

1 serrano chili, sliced thin

1 linguica sausage sliced

1 tbsp mexican oregano

1 tbsp paprika

1 tsp cayenne pepper

salt and pepper to taste

6 large eggs

Instructions:

If using the fresh tomatoes, place in a pot of boiling water for 1 minute, then immediately place in a large bowl of ice water, this will make it really easy to peel them. Once peeled, crush them with your hand into a bowl and set aside.

In a large skillet, preferably cast iron add the olive oil and heat on medium heat, add the garlic, onions and serrano chili, saute for 5-10 minutes until they are soft, add the sausage and cook for 5 minutes more, then add all of the crushed tomatoes, oregano, paprika, cayenne, then the salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Turn the heat up to medium high, gently add the eggs one at a time and cook just until the whites are solid. Serve immediately.

I have always enjoyed cooking, since I started making mashed potatoes for our family dinners at the age of 10. My cooking style is throwing together what is simple, fresh and tasty, also preparing tried and true family recipes. I am on a quest for that perfect crusty bread that is simple to make for the home cook. I am an avid collector of all things vintage, I make up "vignettes" daily for fun and love to share my decorating ideas with everyone. When I'm not working, cooking and decorating I love to be with family, friends, my horses and my two french bulldogs, so stop by here often, there will always be something new to look at. Tammy
